Chris Brown hopped aboard the Justice Department’s “Con Air” prisoner airline on Thursday to start his trek to Washington D.C. A rep from the U.S Marshals Service confirmed to HipHollywood that the singer was turned over to marshals on Wednesday and he is in their custody, following an extradition hearing in Los Angeles.

A source tells HipHollywood that the singer is doing well and is ready for his April 17 trail. “He’s positive and ready to face the consequences of his past and move forward with the rest of his life,” the insider tells us.
